Boom!!!
A golden-red flame-encircled Heavenly Expanse suddenly crashes down, the terrifying strike sweeping across all directions, instantly dispatching scores of evil ghosts who were attempting to approach him!
"Quite dull, not a single one who can fight..."
In the depths of the fragment space of the Realm of the Dead, Wu Xian slowly emerged from a large pit, placing the silver long staff over his shoulder armor. His gaze pierced through the now significantly thinner horde of evil spirits, fixing upon the pale woman who was similarly staring at him fiercely.
A slight smile curved his lips, Wu Xian raised his empty hand and made a thumb-and-index gesture, then wiped his throat with his fingers, the meaning of which was already extremely clear.
If you have the guts, come over here!
I'll beat you up if I see you!
"Ahahahaahahaaa————————————!!!!!!"
Like a groundhog, but with a more piercing shriek, the sound echoed through the space.
Following that, the chaotic mist around twisted and quivered, and once more, a large number of evil spirits surged in from all directions, attacking Wu Xian with a fierce determination as if they were willing to lose their souls and spirits just to cause him harm.
However, at this moment, Wu Xian casually threw the Heavenly Expanse into the air.
Along with the crisp sound of breaking, the silver-white long staff turned into thousands of silver-white small swords, rotating around him. Like a swordstorm, they cut down every evil spirit that dared to approach.
Ordinary weapons cannot harm spirits, but don't forget that the Heavenly Expanse is a weapon of thought, and thought force is one of the extraordinary systems set by Lord Z that can injure spirits.
In addition, Wu Xian also specifically added various spells and talismans against ghosts on it. Only by fully activating it at this moment did he truly have the feeling of a grass-cutting machine.
In this way, Wu Xian casually walked forward at his own pace, without lifting his hand. The silver-white sword blades emitting runes glimmered, striking hundreds of times the hordes of evil ghosts who were charging headlong.
The originally fierce and terrifying ghosts, at this moment, were as fragile as torn cloth, dissolving quickly without even a single "Ah" being uttered, like spring snow.
"Tap————XN"
Suddenly, Wu Xian's advance halted, but a pair of ghostly white arms appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his ankles and extending towards his neck like snakes.
But in the next second, the surface of the black armor shimmered with a dense array of fiery gold runes, and the arms seemed to touch burning irons, immediately releasing their grip. Yet they still turned into ashes and vanished without a trace.
"Just that?"
Wu Xian scoffed and accelerated his pace, running towards the front.
This time, however, he did not let the swordstorm formed by the Heavenly Expanse protect him, but instead allowed it to expand its range and act freely.
As for himself, he held two watermelon knives made from dozens of sword blades, and charged into the horde of evil spirits once again, enjoying the fight!
Sword strike! Sword strike! Still sword strike!
Under the three-layered debuff of Buddhist light, mental force, and talismans, the once terrifying and hideous evil ghosts were rendered weak and fragile, easily chopped down by Wu Xian's watermelon knives as if cutting wheat. In a blink of an eye, he cleared a large area.
Meanwhile, seeing the ghost-like black-armored figure, the evil spirits behind couldn't help but show fearful expressions. Despite having their master Yako's command, they still hesitated and dared not to advance.
In ancient China, there was a saying about driving away evil spirits. Evil and unclean things, apart from not daring to approach high-level monks and sages, also couldn't approach experienced warriors.
Like Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was tormented by the spirits of his deceased brothers in dreams, so he had Qin Shoubao and Yue Chidong hold weapons and stand guard in front of the palace at night.
This is one of the origins of the god of door protection legend, and it also proves that evil spirits are afraid of evil qi.
On the other side, Yako may have realized that sending these mediocre fish was just sending them to their deaths, so she decided to use her power as a ruler of the Realm of the Dead to retrieve these evil spirits.
At this moment, a child's cry rang out behind Wu Xian. He looked back and saw a somewhat familiar small figure in the golden eyes that resembled molten iron.
Yako's dead son—Sakaki Toshio!
Unlike the previous, the form of Sakaki Toshio controlled by Yako's lingering will was even more terrifying.
Besides the classic dark circles and gray skin, there was an unusual hollow in his lower abdomen, as if the internal organs had been excavated.
This was the appearance he had taken on after being confined to a wardrobe at home by his father and dying of hunger.
"Wuahaha————!!!"
As if sensing Wu Xian's gaze, Sakaki Toshio cried even louder.
Not only that, his body began to twist and deform gradually. His skin turned as dark as charcoal from grayish white, his limbs and throat rapidly contracting to become as thin as a bamboo stick, while his head and belly kept swelling, looking extremely grotesque.
After a moment, his mouth slowly widened, resembling a black hole vortex, absorbing the surrounding evil spirits that hadn't yet fled.
Once these evil spirits were swallowed by him, his grotesque form began to grow at an eye-popping speed, proportionally larger than before.
It was evident that as Yako's son, the starving ghost of Sakaki Toshio had received special favor.
It not only possessed a portion of the authority of the fragments of the Realm of the Dead, becoming an incarnation of Yako's ghostly realm, but also had strength far beyond what those mediocre fish had been.
"Oh! Finally, something interesting."
Wu Xian tilted his head, and with a twitch of his mind, he retrieved the components of the Heavenly Expanse and reassembled them into a long staff, which he slung over his shoulder. Then, with interest, he looked at Sakaki Toshio's increasing breath and chuckled softly while speaking in a suppressed voice.
"Not bad, cutting grass can be pretty dull... little ghost, I hope you can entertain me. Otherwise, I'm going to spank your mom's ass!"
As if hearing Wu Xian's nearly insulting words, Sakaki Toshio accelerated the speed at which he swallowed the surrounding evil spirits.
It didn't take long for the evil spirits that hadn't been cut down by Wu Xian's watermelon knives to be swallowed by Sakaki Toshio, and his body swelled to a height of fifteen meters.
"Wuahahaahaha——————!!!"
It was still that annoying childish cry, the deformed giant standing up, holding his swollen belly, greedily staring at everything in front of him, as if he wanted to eat more.
This is the ghostly realm of endless hunger.
Souls that fall into this realm will be transformed into hungry ghosts.
Forever hungry, forever thirsty, but can never get satisfaction.
The more it devours, the more it expands. The more it expands, the more hungry it gets.
"I'm so hungry! So hungry! I want to eat! I need to eat more!!"
Starving with green eyes, Sakaki Toshio let out a wailing cry and then suddenly looked down at the only and most delicious smell around him.
He licked his black lips and spoke in a childish yet incredibly loud voice:
"Big brother, you smell so good. Can I eat you up? Please……"
Saying that, he didn't wait for Wu Xian's response and ran towards him like a giant of a rare species.
That bizarre and uncoordinated gait also reminded Wu Xian of the bizarre videos he had seen, causing him to want to make Friday play Yuppie's "Running" as a fitting backdrop.
In a slight moment of distraction, Sakaki Toshio had already arrived and raised his two giant and bloated palms towards Wu Xian, as if trying to grab him and stuff him directly into his mouth!
Wu Xian made no resistance; he simply allowed Sakaki Toshio's hands to lift him, without even a bite, and swallowed him whole.
After swallowing Wu Xian, Sakaki Toshio's face revealed a joyful smile, and his hands rested on the swollen abdomen, gently caressing as if he was feeling the rare sense of fulfillment.
But the next moment, he burst into a more horrific wailing than when he was hungry!
"Little ghost, didn't your mom tell you not to eat strangers?"
Derisive laughter came from Sakaki Toshio's body.
Following that, a thick long staff pierced through his distended belly, revealing the profound darkness inside.
